Go to Egypt for Cierra

Cierra wants us to go to Egypt to pick something up for her. (Session 44) I arranged air transport via Markus Gottschalk and managed to get some introductions arranged working with Dwayne via Nehbet (Session 45). We finally flew to Egypt and arrived in Cairo (Session 47). After a brief stay we continued to Luxor where we met Faysal, a reasonable man who arranged for some contacts for us in Sharm El Sheikh where would have to go to pick up our package (Session 55). After a detour past Abu Simbel and Alexandria to see the sites, we travelled to Sharm El Sheikh to pick up our package, and we were presented to the Prince there (Session 60). The package consists of ancient palimpsest scrolls. We managed to extract them from an intimidating room in Mount Sinai (Session 61) and out of the country (Session 62). After a brief detour to Tel-Aviv, we finally arrived in New York and handed over the chest with palimpsest scrolls to Cierra (Session 63). I sent a letter of thanks to Mr. Gottschalk as he wouldn't receive me for some reason (Session 64).

Demonic Possession

The palimpsest found is a relic and has actual writings from Saint Catherine! (Session 69) A scientist looked for way to spare the relic but he was unable to find it, so the proposal is to destroy them. He said he'd give me a private explanation of the procedure, but in reality, the demon inside him took possession of me! I didn't notice at first as it seemed as if I was just experiencing nightmares (Session 74).

Cierra hired a scribe to copy the Palimpsest (Session 80) which the demon did not like one bit, but the main goal of the Palimpsest was not forgotten and it took copies made by a scribe (Session 82). When Cierra called to discuss it, I tried to grab the originals from the tower, but she had taken them to the trap to exorcise me - the demon was successfully exorcised. I got seriously hurt in the process but at least its over now (Session 84).

Protect my Turf

While I was possessed, I invited Christine Metz to a private dance performance. She's stuck her nose in my turf long enough, its time to deal with her (Session 75). I've rented a dance hall for the 'performance' and gave a date and the address to her (Session 76). I set up some traps, but I'm not strong or big enough and got caught in my own trap (Session 77), but Dwayne, Lindsey and Marcus managed to set up the traps properly, so all looks set! (Session 78) Despite the proper setup though, the trap failed spectacularly and I barely got anything off on Christine, while she took me captive. My connection with the Prince saved me, but the trap failed due to betrayal by Marcus. The Prince did settle things with Christine (Session 79) but she was somewhat displeased, so I'll need to get something special to fix that. (Session 80).

Relic

I spoke with Cierra about what to do with the Relic and she did insist on needing the information on the scroll. I'm not sure, but I may have a way to sort everything out (Session 86). I found Penny Garfield might be able to help, but she wants a favour with Cierra in return, or possibly for burning an archive of some kind. I may need to be careful with her and the Palimpsest (Session 87). Cierra has agreed to meet with Penny (Session 89) and I got Penny's contact information from Ravena to Emily to make an appointment by the end of the year (Session 90). Isaac returned to New York, which means he might be able to help out as well (Session 92)! Isaac inspected the palimpsest, and Penny managed to extract the text Cierra needed, saving the relic. Cierra was happy and she promised she'd send the palimpsest to the Empire State Building for me to tend to (Session 94). The relic was indeed delivered to me at the Empire State Building, where Mr. Worthington took care of its protection. I talked to Reverend Jonah about how to get it where it needs to go - the Church. But I've not found a way to handle that yet (Session 96). I arranged a writ confirming the age and nature of the Palimpsest from the scribe who researched it (Session 98). I tried sneaking the Palimpsest into the ROCOR building, but that really isn't my skillset. Luckily Dwayne was able to deliver it and make sure it arrived safely. Now all I can do is pray (Session 100). My faith was proven true when the church accepted the relic (Session 104)!

Blood of the Aftermath

I got seriously hurt while protecting Marcus after the demon was exorcised (Session 84), and I have had to take a lot of rest, first remaining in bed, then doing only very light observation activities and nothing too serious (Session 85). I seem to be doing a lot better now though I still have hidden bruises. I suppose it will have to do for now, I have obligations and I cannot stay in bed any longer (Session 86).

With so much blood spent on healing, I got really famished after my performance, but I've already fed too much on my herd. I looked around the Empire State Building but they couldn't really help me. The prince did suggest I ask Lindsey for help (Session 93), which she did, guiding me through finding some extra food at the Rotary (Session 94). I had to ask Lindseys help again, but I think I finally managed to find the blood I needed despite the nativity fast (Session 95).
